Sidestones

joejoe44 Rough Rock Total Posts: 11 Last Post: 7/10/2001 Member Since: 7/5/2001	How much thought should I put into the sidestones on a ring? Should I just go with what looks good or should I get a quality that is equal to the centerstone? I am looking into a ring with two round diamonds on each side of the center stone. Each side diamond would be around 12 points. Thanks-

You might want to get them loose, of course, e.g. to check that there is no visible inclusions. Pricescope

Price may well be twice that of regular melee and you'll have to decide whether the extra sparkle is worth it.
